Zeng's family, who came to Tiebi Pass with the Wen family, also sent people to live here. However, because the Zeng family is engaged in the tea business, the north is not suitable for planting tea, nor does it produce tea, so the Zeng family did not send a large number of children here, but sent two brothers, one opened a tea shop in Tiebiguan, and the other opened a tea shop in Shanhai City.

The tea shop in Tiebiguan is dedicated to selling tea to the city of Tiebiguan and the entire three northwestern provinces. It mainly sells some tea products from the south, especially the tea produced in Huzhou.

The tea shops in Shanhai City mainly sell tea cakes and tea bricks to those grassland tribes. It's a very lucrative business, and the benefits are great. Often a piece of tea cake that is only worth a few pennies, and a box is only a matter of dozens of pennies, and you can exchange it for a good sheepskin. Of course, some tribes are exchanged, and some tribes are bought directly with money. In Shanhai City, there is not a Zeng family selling tea, there are more than a dozen of them.

The largest of them was sold by the tea factory of Lord Liu Jingyuan's family in the capital. That's what makes money. However, the Zeng family is very satisfied with just opening a shop in Shanhai City, and it also brings a lot of income to the family every year. Not to mention, there is also the general distribution right of Yizhou Island high mountain tea in Huzhou Province and Heyang Province given by the lord of Wenhui County, and the income is still very objective. Therefore, when the Zeng family came to Tiebiguan, they spent 500,000 taels of silver to buy the Haoqiang property of Tiebiguan, and spent hundreds of thousands of taels of silver to give to the county lord of Wenhui and the Wen family, and later, they also paid hundreds of thousands of taels of silver worth the mansion and shop in Jiangnan. And the land. Help Haoqiang of Tiebiguan to relocate to Jiangnan.

It cost a lot of money. However, the only thing that really paid was the hundreds of thousands of taels of silver that were given away. These hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, if you calculate it, just the high mountain tea can be recovered within three years. There are also those houses, shops, and land in the south of the Yangtze River, but they did not use the Zeng family's money, they were all owned by the Zeng family itself. Still, these things. It's not a white flower. Because, just the two shops in Tiebiguan and Shanhai City can earn more than 100,000 taels of silver for the family a year.

As the construction of Tiebi Pass and Shanhai City is getting better and better, this number is still growing. The Zeng family patriarch of Qingyang City calculated. There are three years. This money can also be earned. As for buying land, shops, and houses in Tiebiguan. The money for the ranch is not in a hurry.

First, with the good development of Tiebiguan, the price of these things will definitely get higher and higher, and after three years, these industries that were bought at a slightly higher price will be able to return to their original capital. If you are not in a hurry to use the money, you can put it on for another year or two, and at that time, if you sell it again, you will definitely be able to make a profit. Even now, it is not sold, and it is useless. The Zeng family was not idle. A few stewards were sent to watch over the fields and pastures. As for the house and the shop, it was arranged separately.

The house was given to the county lord of Wenhui and used as a school. He also gave Tiebiguan a spacious residence for the brother of the house that took care of the shop. When the road was being built, a little bit of the house was demolished, but it was all a decimal and it didn't matter. There are still many houses left, and the Zeng family spent a small amount of money to repair them, and the stewards who were sent here were all rented out, and with those shops, they could be regarded as having a decent income every year.

Therefore, this business, no matter how you look at it, is profitable, and it will never lose money. Because of this reason, the whole Zeng family praised Xiao Wen's who had made contributions, and Xiao Wen's status in her mother-in-law's family improved, so she naturally wrote a letter to tell her sister Wen in Tiebiguan. Wen was very happy when he found out. I am more grateful to Chen Wenhui and more loyal.

After that, after the price of housing and the price of land and property rose, the Zeng family really sent a steward to sell all the real estate here. At that time, there were many people who came to buy. But most of it, after the introduction of the Wen family, it was sold to the children of the Wen family who had taken root in Tiebi Pass at that time. This can also be regarded as a way for the Zeng family to repay the introduction of the Wen family.

The children of the Wen family got this part of the real estate, and their status in Tiebi Pass was higher. That's all for later.

The Xi family's handling method is different from that of the Wen family and the Zeng family. They sent a capable three-room family to Tiebi Pass, and they were ready to take root in Tiebi Pass. This person did not start an inn business like the children of the Wen family, but did his old business and built a glass processing workshop. That's it, and the main object of the order is Chen Wenhui's cannery.

The Xi family has been manufacturing glass in Jiangnan for more than 100 years, and it is also a well-known merchant in Jiangnan. Their craftsmen and skills are second to none.

They don't have one workshop in their house, but four or five. Therefore, for the construction of glass workshops, it is very familiar. After they received Chen Wenhui's order, they picked among the houses they bought, renovated them, and turned them into a glass workshop. With the leadership of these old craftsmen, and then recruited some local people to work in Tiebiguan, before the spring, the glass workshop has begun to produce glass cans and bottles.

Although the Xi family, like the Zeng family, spent millions of taels of silver in Tiebiguan this time, they also gave some of their own houses, shops, and land in Jiangnan to the migrating Tiebiguan Haoqiang. However, these are not burdens for the Xi family, which has accumulated for hundreds of years. Even, they didn't go for a loan. After calculation, the head of the Xi family found that if this continued, the profits of the glass cans and bottles in the iron wall alone would be able to earn back half of the money he spent in three years. As for the other half, it is real estate, and this Xi family does not plan to sell it like the Zeng family.

They have migrated, and three large tribes have spread out here. These immovable properties are just right for the three tribes. So, in this way, you don't lose money at all. Three years later, it has brought huge benefits to the Xi family.

However, Chen Wenhui still felt a little indebted to the Xi family, so she asked Wen to tell the Xi family that she could sell it to the Xi family about the production process of glass with high transparency. However, this kind of production process can only be used by the Xi family to make large window glass.

This made the Xi family very happy. You know, everyone knows that Chen Wenhui has the technology to make high-end glass. Just look at how much profit Baojingfang brings to Chen Wenhui every year.

If the Xi family can master this technology, although it is not as good as Chen Wenhui's Baojing Workshop, it can also be ahead of those glass workshops in Jiangnan. Can this not make the Xi family happy?

Moreover, the Xi family calculated that if they mastered this technology and built a workshop specializing in the production of glass for windows, how much money would they make?

First of all, in the county lord's mansion, a large amount of such glass is needed. None of the windows in the county lord's mansion were pasted with curtains, and all of them were made of highly transparent glass. In addition, the county lord has built a glass corridor in the mansion, so that you can walk outdoors in winter and will not be blown by the cold wind.

This suddenly made Tiebiguan and the wealthy families of the three northwestern provinces, and the leaders of the five major tribes on the grassland take a fancy to it. They also fell in love with this extravagant glass corridor. If they build like this, how much glass will they have to buy from the Xi family? How much money do you have to let the Xi family make?

Not to mention, under the influence of the county lord, the people of Tiebiguan and Shanhai City liked it when they built houses, and used glass as windows, this kind of transparent, wind-blocking glass, preferably two-layer glass, which is really suitable for the northwest city with a long and cold winter.

This has created a large market for glass used in windows. This item, the Xi family calculated, and the possible income can catch up with glass cans and bottles.

The Xi family said they would do it, and immediately went to the patent office to buy a patent, of course, this patent is also very expensive, asking for 500,000 taels of silver. However, the Xi family still thinks it's worth it. After all, this glass belongs to luxury glass. Although the Xi family also used to produce glass for windows. Most of the houses in Jiangnan also use glass on their windows. However, that kind of glass is not highly transparent white glass, but has some impurities. Highly transparent white glass is a luxury item.

After buying the patent, it was much easier to build a workshop. After all, the Xi family had acquired a large piece of real estate in the first place. With a little modification, it's ready to use. In addition, the Xi family has accumulated for a hundred years, and the most important thing is the old craftsman. Moved a part from Gangnam, recruited some workers locally, and the workshop began to produce.

Now the Xi family has two glass workshops, both of which are very profitable. The head of the Xi family couldn't close his mouth happily, and naturally he was even happier with the county lord of Wen Hui, the Wen family, the daughter who married into the Wen family, and the son-in-law of the Wen family. Later, in the Tiebi Pass, among the heroes, the relationship between the Wen family and the Xi family has always been very good.

The Xi family's workshop also solved a big problem for Chen Wenhui. First of all, it is much easier for her to buy glass in her own house. In the past, the glass she bought in her house was produced by her own Baojing Workshop in Jiangnan. In fact, Baojingfang just produces all kinds of mirrors and high-end glass handicrafts, and it can't receive endless orders, where can there be time to produce a large number of window glass for decoration in the house that Chen Wenhui needs. However, who made Chen Wenhui the boss, even if he made a little less money, he had to produce what Chen Wenhui wanted first. In this way, the glass in Chen Wenhui's mansion was pulled from the south of the Yangtze River with great difficulty. Chen Wenhui is also a headache for this, and has always wanted to solve this problem. (To be continued......)
